Did some more Contrasts testing over various under coats, this time with fur details.

How are the so-called "contrasts" different from the "washes" that they used to sell?

I think the Contrasts are more like "filter washes" -- they flow well into recesses like washes but they color the base color more, like a filter.

Looks better when there are more fine details to create actual "contrasts". On the small wolves the overall impression is incomplete.

Your base coat isn't smooth enough friend. After prime, hit them with a clear satin and you will see better results.

Also, using an offwhite/light beige/putty base coat will help those colors immensely.

that halfling on the ram is an awesome fig.

Which of the contrast flesh tones did you use on the halfling and human?

@the trojan bunny,

I used Guilliman Flesh.
